The heart- -the heart! oh! let it be, and bounteous thing; As kindly warm, as nobly free, As eagle's nestling wing. Oh! kecp it not, like miser's gold, Shut from all beside, But let its precious stores unfold, In mercy, far and wide.

The heart, that's truly blest, Is nerer all its own; No ray of glory lights the breast That beats for self alone. The hear -the heart oh! let it spare, A sigh for others' pain; The breath that a brother's care, Is never spent in vain. And though it throbs at gentlest touch, Or sorrow's faintest call, 'Twere better it should ache too much, Than never ache at all. The heart--the heart, truly blest, Is never all its own; No ray of glory lights breast, That beats for self alone. Select Miscellany.

Singular Infatuation. The Philadelphia Press mentions 2 curious circumstance connected with the loss of the Austria. The wife of Mr. Theodore Gerok, of Baltimore, is now visiting her relatives in. Philadelphia, and while they have no doubt of his lose, she alone has a deep conviction that he 19 not dead; either he was not on board the Austria (though he wrote to her that he had actually paid for his passage) or if' he was, he must bave been among the fow that were rescued.

But hero is something still more strange: It may be within the knowledge of many of our readers that a who clergyman of this city was among those left for, Europo on the heard ill-fated of. His Prosident, wife, and was never again who remained in Philadelphia, and was deeply attached to him, never did, because sho never could believe that he was lost to her. Eighteen years havo passed away, and yet that trusting lady-wo cannot speak of her as wife, and she repudiates the name of wulowcontinues to expect las return. Leery day a corer is plared for lam at the table where still stands his accustomed chair.Every ring at hell, we are informed. awakens the cherished conviction of her heart that the loved one will return.

Comets in Olden -About a hundred and fifty years ago, a comet made its appearence in England, which a selfstyled prophet declared was going burn up the world. Tho Londoners wero terribly scared, and on the appointed day, thousands took to the boats on the river to aroid the conflagra-1 tion. A Dutch skipper threw all powder into the Thames, so that ship would escape being blown up when the comet -truck, and a prominent officer of the Bank of England sent word to the Fire Brigado to keep a sharp lookout- for fires, and particularly the Bank. The people became suddenly, savagely virtuous under the pressure of fear, only to fall back again to their old habits as soon as the fan. cied danger wag over.

Comets now-adays are not considered so potent mischief, and we do not know that they are charged with anything more serious than influencing the weather. A Man Must be Tried by Twelre Court of Appeals, New York, has awardod a new trial to Cancemi, convicted of murder, ho triod by eleven jurors only, though prisoner assented to this arrangement. Tho court, however, holds that trials for crimes must take place as tho prescribes, and the State has an interest in lives and liberties of its citizens, and will not allow a render of their. If a deficiency of juror could be allowed, a deficiency eleven might also be pormitted, or trial be committed to the court alone, an innovation which would destroy institution of trial by jury. Cancomi has been tried three times: twice was convicted, and the verdict set aside, and once the jury disagreed.

Miestand Glatz. Democrats in Italics. American Republicans, 67. Demoerate, 33 Majority, 34 and family WILL MONDAY, Transplanting Trees in Autumn. Do you approvo of fall planting is a question asked us every day.

Our anis yes, under these circumstances: 1. When the ground is of ench nature in such condition that water will lodge around the roots of trees in winter. To plant trees in holos sunk stiff tenacious soil, is a certain meof killing them. 2. The trees should be perfectly hardy.

delicate or half hardy trees should invariably be planted in the spring.it be necessary to take them the Fall, they had better be laid in by the roots in a dry soil sheltered from the cold cutting winds, and if necessary, protected with plenty. of boughs of evergreens, or something of that ture. 3. We do not approvo of planting evergreens in the Fall unless of the very hardicst sorts and that quite carly, say September or first of October, in time for the trees to re-root partially before hard frosty; and they should bo sheltered from the sun and wind by a thick screen of overgreen boughs well secured around them. 4.

Plant trees early--as soon as circumstances will permit aftor the wood ripe. Don't wait till tho leaves fall, but cut them off', being careful not to injure the buds. Lato planting, however, if well done, may be equally successful. 5. Secure all trees from being blown about by tho winds, and mulch with half' rotten manure, or leaves three or four inches deep.

Asparagus, rhubarb, gooseberries, and currants should all be planted in the Fall, a8 carly AS possible. Also hardy bulbs, such as hyacinths, tulips, narcissus, croces, and crown imperials, and lilies. It is also the best season to top dress, and renovate neglected trees of all sorts, to make new walks and repair old ones, to lay down us turf, and perform such operations grading, draining, trenching, Our Springs are short, and hot summer weather very often comes too soon. It is thereforo well to make good use of every hour betweon this time and tho freezing the Horses Stiffened and Hoof Bound. A horse that is driven on a hard road 1S liable to be stiffened.

I hare since tried at on foundcred or hoof bound horses, and good results. I made a solution of salt and water, and applied it three times day by washing tho legs and pouring upon the bottom of his feet and holding them up a few minutes to let it strike in, and saw tho wonderful effects in few days. I account for it in this way Salt will extract moisture from the mosphere, which keeps the feet moist tall the while; it acts nearly hke melted greeso on the foot.

The hoof becomes but yet pliable. Liko a chunk of wood saturated with salt or brine is tough yet moist; and so with horse's foot. And hore let me add, habit of rasping the cracked hoof toughen it 19 all folly. Apply your brine and you will effect a euro. Try it and blame me if it does not.

-Oh Wolcott, of that city, acting under the suggestion of'a French journal, has rosorted to ice as a means of destroying pain in surgical operations. A tew days sinco ho removed a very large tumor from a man's leg. Ilo took a preparation of snow and common table salt and applied it to the discased part, which was almost immediately roduced fo an insensible stato. The removal of the tumor was accompanied by very little or no pain. Dr.

A Novel latest novelty from Germany is a musical bed, which receives the weary body, and immodi. ately "laps it into Elysium." It is an invention of a mechanic in Bohemia, and is so constructed that by means of hidden mechanism, a pressuro upon the bed causes a soft and air of Auber to be played which continues to lull the most wakeful to sleep.

At the head is a clock, the hand of which being placed at the hour the sleeper wishes to rise, when the timo arrives, the bed plays a march of Spontoni, with noise enough to rouse the seven sicepers. An Unexpected is stated that a surviving of Aaron Burr comes curiously into possession of quite a fortune in this way: Burr held a lease from Trinity church of the Richmond Hill preperty, three or four hundrod lots in the centre of New York, for 66 years. He re-leased the -land for 63 years to Astor and ethers, and their lease, expires in 1860. lease for three years then belongs to Burr's daughter, and the claim is indisputable and the value of the tase very great.Already soveral of tho lessees have compromised the claim for from $1,500 to $2,000 per lot.

8. 1858. Pup or Kitten. A friend, says the New Bedford Mertells us 3 story, which he say's is cury, quite authentic and has been in print. As we have not access to the printed authority, we toll it as ho told it to us: In a certain flourishing village down eastward, where flourishes a literary institution, a gentleman took one of a family of infant puppies, and gaining entrance into a neighbor's house before the folks wore wide awake enough to know what he was about, chucked the little creature among a littor of kittens, a liko tender age.

Puss made no distinction between the stranger and her offspring, and he on his part took kindly and confidingly to his new nurse. Great was the astonishment of the household when at wag discovered (as they supposed) that their cat was the dam of a puppy. The news of so portentous 3 birth spread over town like wildfire. People came in flocks to 600 the sight. The fortunate possessor was offered fifty dollars for the! littlo monster, but de.

clared he would not part with it for five hundred. That the case might not fail of due authentication two physicians of the first respectability were summoned to inspect and report upon it. They jointly and severally scrutinized the animal, found that it was certainly a puppy, having all tho characteristics of the dog raco, except the paws. Those wore pronounced to rethe joke couldn't hold in any longer.semble cate' claws. 6 The perpetrator of The cat was out of the bag in a twinkling, and if the doctors outliro the memory of their essay in comparativo zoology they will be more lucky than most victims of a "sell." -Troy (N.

A ropo-covered cable is believed to have advantage over the wire cable, but one after Mr. Rowatt's fashion is considered inferior to many otherg suggested.

On Monday morning about three or four o'clock, the girl came down to her paronts' room and asked for a candle, receiving which she went into the kitchen, lighted it, and soon returned, holding an axe in her hand. She said that her parents were bad people, and she would kill them. She then struck her father five or six blows, with the axe, on the head, nock and breast, killing him instantly. The mother sprang from the bed, grappled with the girl, and after a struggle of half an hour, wrested the axe from her, left her in the house, and ran to neighbor for help.

ly androlearly, the causes which led to such a result, and to deduce a few facts from the history of this contest, as compared thist of 1854. In Pennsylvania, it is of this State alone that we shalt speak. so far as the causes of our dofeat are concerned,) the result does not astonish any man who is at all conversant with political affairs and the temporament of the people. The primary causo of the cess of what is the "Opposition" party, is undoubtedly to ho, attributed to the panic which has for, more than twelvo months existed, and sell exists, in the business of the To use 3 phrase moro common than; euphonius, The smoke of tho recent hard-fought political contest in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana has cloured away, are able, thorefore, to, tako a careful survey of and calculato its rosulta. Our readers all that the Democratic party has dofoated, and we propose now to consider, calm- the "hard times" have goperally unsettied the affairs of society, and thousands of peoplo find themselves suffering without really being able to account for it.

Money is plenty, but it is locked up; and for want of a market and demand for thoir products, our mining and manufacturing operations nant, or aro moving at a sluggard'e True, tho dark clouds of distress pace. which lately obscured the horizon, are breaking away, but the shadow still romains, and the people are nervous and unsettled. Evor since 1530, it has been tho practico of political leaders in this State to attributo all our business revulsions and monetary panics to the Tariff, and the people have become 80 accustomed to this that they, really think that raw. head-and-bloody-bones to be the cause of nineteen-twontieths of all their miscries and misfortunes. Democratic party, not being willing to pandor to this prejudice, and never abandoning its principles for mere buncombe, has again and again fallen a victim to this popular delusion, while the opposing party has gathered success from it.

In the campaign which has just closed, the Tariff' was unquestionably tho primary cause of the succoss of the position. The leaders of that organization pictured, in glowing colors, the general depression of business under which the people were suffering, and promised a speody and salutary reform in case of their success. The masses heard them, and being willing to do anything for a change, bocause thoy considered a change the necessary forerunner of improvement, they united in securing the defeat of the Democratic party. They were not convinced by argument that such a course would be beneficial, because really no argument was used; but they wore led by an agnus-fatuus of hope which was kept steadily beforo them by the political schemers. Another cause of the result, and'one which is probably more apparent to the casual obsorvor than any other, existed in the ranks of the Democratic party.

This was a wido spread disaffection, and may be accounted for in this way. Whon Mr. Buchanan was elected Prosident, hundreds and thousands of men Pennsylvania who have been his personal and political friends, imagined that golden rewards would be showered down upon them, that all they had to do was to ask and receive favors.Pennsylvania had never before a P'resident, and consequently her politiciana were inexperienced. They flocked round the Executive officer of the Government like the Inzaretti of the East around a traveller, and their cry was give, give, give! Many of these men were necossarily disappointed. Some demanded positions for which thoy were not qualified; and others required places which belonged to citizens different States.

They could not rea. lize, somehow or other, that Mr. Buch. was President of the United States." To them he was only a Penn. sylvania President, and they wonderod that ho thought of anything but Penn.

sylvania. When these men found that their expectations could not be realized, or their demands complied with, Presi- they determined to be revenged on the dent by assailing the party which had electod him. The Lecompton Constitution was seized upon as a pretext, and the war commenced. The assailants knew very well that the interests of Pennsylvania were in no degree connected with the admission of Kansas into the Union as a State--they knew, too, that Mr. Buchanan had done nothbut his duty in sending the.

Ie compton Constitution to Congress and yet they, him and all frionds in the most vitupfrativo terms. For the sake of appearances, they first avoided condemning the President personally, but wherever ho had a voted friend, they thrust away at him most, unmercifully. During the campaign last Tuesday, this species of vindictive warfaro was carried to a length novor before witnessed in this country, and the result was that many of the friends of the. President fell victims to the fury of these disappointed and disaffectod members of our own organization. A third cause of our defeat, and the last ono that we shall specify at presont, was a general apathy which exist.

ed in the ranks of those who wore heart true to the principles of Demoo. racy. This may propery bo ascribod to tho existence of the two reasons our everthrow, which havo already beon dwelt upon. Thousands of good, honest citizens remained, st home the day of election, because they were appealed to do so by men whom they and I had always trusted as Democrats, because, when they saw thoh friends fighting among chi they deter mined to remujn quiet and take no part in the contest. In Philadelphia city, the vote polled at the election last Taosday for Saprenio Judge was 3083 less than that given at the Mayor's cloction last spring; .0022 than that cast at the Presidential election in 1856.

Whon it in that both tho candidates for this high office reside in this city, the great falling off in the total vote. can be approciated. In the country. deureato of the Democratic voto has bcon very great, as the ofliciat returns will show. So much has not existed in our ranks for many yoars.

We giro' these as cities of, and not as excuses for, our 'That wo permitted tho. Opposition to triumph, is the only stigma that can bo placed upon us. We had the power, if wo had used it properly, to hare achicrod great victory; but we suffored tho laurels to fall into loss desorring hands, and we must submit to the result of our negligence and folly. with the bost graco we can command. The "Opponition party," as it styles itself, is at this day a mere jumbled mass of discordant elements, destituto of lasting vitality, and doomed soon to dissolve into many petty factions.

It gained its present victory on no great principle, and it has not a single common bond of union to kcop it together. Tho only motive that actuates all its members is hatred of Democracy, and even this is not sufficiently strong to keop it a united party for six months. Its present success only hastens its Argus.
